Guest Reviews

• WALERIO (10/5): - Adorei o atendimento da anfitriã. Muito atenciosa. A localização é ótima. Apesar de ter muitos estudantes, é muito silencioso. O quarto era um pouco menor do que eu imaginava.
• Siya (8/5): -
• Lenka (9/5): - Velmi milá hostitelka - pomohla nám se vším, co jsme potřebovali a na co jsme se zeptali. I když byl check in až ve 2 hodiny odpoledne, tak nám uschovala kufry, protože jsme přiletěli brzo ráno. Poměrně bezpečná ulice - u vstupu security, kteří vás pustí pouze na kód, při každém vstupu musíte použít nový. Ubytování není nejnovější a je poměrně malé, ale za tu nízkou cenu, dostanete přesně to, co očekáváte.

• Azeez Àdìgún (10/5): - I had an amazing 16-night stay in Maboneng, Johannesburg. From the moment I arrived, I felt quite cool and open-minded to explore. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, always reachable, and regularly checked in to ensure I was comfortable throughout my stay. That level of attentiveness truly made a difference. The apartment itself was clean, well-equipped, and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable extended stay microwave, water heater, refrigerator, and more. The internet was very fast and reliable, which was a huge plus. Access to the building is highly secure, requiring an access code to enter and exit, so I always felt safe. The location is excellent and easy to find, situated right in the heart of a vibrant, bubbling neighborhood. It’s surrounded by top eateries like McDonald's, KFC, Chicken Licken, as well as stores like PEP and Shoprite. Nightlife is just a few meters away, with decent lounges offering great vibes and affordable drinks. It’s also conveniently close to major sightseeing attractions such as the Apartheid Museum, Gold Reef City, Constitution Hill, Jozi CBD, and Gandhi Square. Additionally, it’s well-positioned for airport access via O. R. Tambo International Airport. Overall, this was a comfortable, secure, and well-located apartment that made my extended stay in Johannesburg truly enjoyable. I would absolutely stay here again. N/A

The location is perfect as you are in the middle of Maboneng where you can reach good restaurants and shop by foot in no time. The building is very safe! It gets a bit chilly in the night. But there are blankets in case you need them to keep you warm. The place is very small, but I did not mind, as I stayed one night only.
